Success Stories - BA (Hons) Fashion Studies

Fashion Star 2009

University of Lincoln Fashion student - Lauren Fedorko has been awarded £1,000 by Basilica Marketing Company representing the Waterside Shopping Centre, Lincoln after winning the Fashion Star 2009 competition. Six finalists were selected by Basilica Marketing Team to produce their designs, which were then displayed in the Waterside Shopping Centre from 6 November – 18 December. From over 1,000 votes, Waterside shoppers chose Lauren’s design as the winner of Fashion Star ’09.

Her stunning entry consisted of two pieces – a sleeveless dress with co-coordinating jacket. Both items were inspired by pirate’s clothing, with styled collars and oversized cuffs, complimented by rich-coloured wool and tweed.

Waterside Centre Manager, Jim Hughes, said: “We were bowled over by the standard of design and production submitted by all the finalists, but the quality of Lauren’s work was especially outstanding. We hope she’ll remember us when she’s internationally recognised, but for now we’re happy that she’s our Waterside Fashion Star ’09!”

Student Comments - BA (Hons) Fashion Studies

"As a third year fashion student and nearly at the end of my studies I have enjoyed the fashion department’s close, warm and welcoming attitude from both staff and students. I now have a great knowledge of my subject and the confidence and communication skills that will help me in my fashion career.
The course has been challenging and has pushed me to work to the best of my ability, staff have supported me and helped me reach my potential and achieve work I am proud of."
Emma Harvey, BA (Hons) Fashion Studies - Year 3

"The course offers a broad range of skills; not only do you learn pattern cutting and manufacture but you are thoroughly prepared for when you leave and enter the fashion industry. I would highly recommend Lincoln to others; great place, great course!"
Hattie Bonson, BA (Hons) Fashion Studies - Year 3

"A few years ago I decided that fashion was the creative career I wanted to pursue. With the help of experienced Tutors my skills have developed and with each project my knowledge and ideas grow. Help is at hand every day and I have never regretted coming to study fashion at the University of Lincoln. I have learnt to be open minded and use the large studios to explore my ideas further in both two and three dimensional ways. The course looks at all aspects of fashion and you are trained to be as versatile as the industry you are going into."
